I think NDSU wished that your town supported your college, but what the hell.

and NDSU is #1 with a bullet up here, und has zero bearings on anything.

lets see, yes I partied with a ton of YSU guys in their tailgate in 2013 any bisonfans reading this better go up here and party with these guys!!


ps-  NDSU should be FBS. period, I think its a joke that we are still in fcs. but we can fight about that another time.

Lots of Buckeye support, because we have the Buckeyes.  Same for Cavs, because we have the Cavs.  Let's see, ND you have the Bison and the real bison and snow..........yep, that's about it!

How many Notre Dame shirts did you see?  ;D

There are some high schools that get more support. I simply don't understand it.

I don''t know why we don't get more local support.....its been a heated topic on here many times before.

Those that said the average Youngstown resident, who may go to a game or 2 a year, has no idea who you are...he is right.

It's a sad indictment but we're just second fiddle, always have been.

We would get a lot more buzz playing a bottom feeder from  the MAC than playing the FCS national champs  ::)

That's where a lot of the local high school heroes end up.

Right now NDSU is on a real roll, best FCS roll ever, but it wasn't always that way and will not always be this way either.  Before we pound Youngstown into the ground, and beat Penguin fans to death, the economic situation has crushed YO more than any city I know.  Population is down more than half and poverty has doubled and look at attendance so far this year:
                                                Home   Away
Sep 12, 2015    ROBERT MORRIS     16622    
Sep 19, 2015    SAINT FRANCIS     17428    
Oct 03, 2015    at South Dakota               10015
Oct 10, 2015    #4 ILLINOIS STATE     17715    
Oct 17, 2015    #7 SOUTH D STATE    14974    
Oct 24, 2015    at Southern Illinois                 8459
Oct 31, 2015    at #23 Western Illinois        2610
Nov 07, 2015    MISSOURI STATE     11077   
I believe the last time we played NDSU in ND the attendance was 13,164 or less that we drew for St. F.
Yes they are averaging 18K and we are only 13K but 13K is a lot better than most FCS.

Don't forget, we aren't climate controlled either. 2 really poor weather games this year. Only half of us can afford raincoats so you have to factor that in  :o

There is no way there was 11,000 people at that YSU Misery State game last week. The athletic department clearly goes by what tickets were sold not how many people actually showed.
